Abstract
The i.r. spectra of Al3Cl3NH3, trichloroammine aluminium, and AlCl3ND3, trichloroammine(D) aluminium, vapours were recorded in the 50–1800 and 2300–3500 cm−1 regions with an evacuable Fourier transform spectrometer by transmission and emission techniques. Evacuable cells of nickel, having windows of type lIa diamond and sealed with O-rings of gold, were employed.All i.r. active fundamentals were assigned and a valence force field based upon the present i.r. frequencies was derived. An indirect observation of the inactive torsional mode rules out the possibility of free internal rotation around the AlN bond and this conclusion was supported by an ab initio calculation.The spectra were interpreted in terms of a staggered C3υ structure and analysis of i.r. band contours and Raman polarization measurements reported in the literature were used as an aid to the assignment of fundamentals.
